Manufacturer Narrative

The complaint device was received by our service center.The device was evaluated visually and functionally.No anomalies were found that would have contributed in the reported failure.Servicing involved only cosmetic issues that would not affect the proper functioning of the device.The test report communicated that the measured flow is in defined tolerances and the suction performance is fully functional in accordance with expectations.The reported failure could not be confirmed and a root cause could not be determined.Further a review into the depuy mitek complaints system revealed two other dissimilar complaints for this device.At this point in time, no corrective action is required and no further action is warranted.However, depuy mitek will continue to track any related complaints within this device family as a means of monitoring the extent with which this complaint is observed in the field.
